I read on a post on ez-pad* about retro fitting a 3G module to a Zpad

I would like to add the GPS to mine but need to know what module to get.

If someone who has a ZPAD with GPS could post the output (or relevant section ) of dmesg

I will know what module to get.

After opeing mind up I notice there is no space or any unused connector left so suspect the 3G and GPS is a combined unit

BTW this would probably work for a Gpad as well, though would be more involved as the ZPad firmware has the required components, but the gpad's firmware doesnt.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlridgeway:
I know there must be an easier way to begin composing a text message but have not figured it out.

Currently I have this set-up:

The native Motorola message widget is on the home screen

To compose a text I:

tap Message widget

tap "Go to Messaging"

tap "Text Messaging"

tap "New text message"

Then I am able to begin my text input.

Any thoughts on shortening this procedure?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfinch:
I erased the message widget from my home screen and put the stock text message app short cut in place of the message one.

So I tap text messages

Then tap new message

Then type text

[Android Software Development] StoopidNoob:
Hey everyone...I can't seem to find any help on creating a keystore. I created my first live wallpaper and have the apk, but I cant upload to the market until I create a keystore and sign the apk. I don't know how to do this. I have the jdk and sdk installed, along with Eclipse, but all the tutorials out there are way above my head.I don't know anything about java code and all tutorials assume that I do. Is anyone willing to help walk me through this? I don't even know how to get my apk file into Eclipse properly to start. Any help is appreciated.
[Android Software Development] hyperbyteX:
* to make key

enter this into cmd prompt: cd C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_01\bin

and then this: keytool -genkey -v -keystore C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin\keystore1.keystore -alias (your name) -keyalg RSA -validity 10000

*then to sign apk

(this is how I do it)

1.copy/paste the apk onto your desktop

2. change the extension to .zip

3. open the now .zip file

4. delete the "META-INF" folder

5. convert it back to .apk

6. open cmd prompt

7. paste this in (without quotes): "cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin " (change the path if you have to first)

8. then paste this: "jarsigner -verbose -keystore (pathway to key file) C:\Users\(name of user)\Desktop\(appname).apk (name of key)"

*that is to sign it, not sure if that will work or if your key saved properly when you tried, let me know :)

It took me about 8 hours to figure it out when I first started too
[Android Software Development] smaskell:
yeah, or you could just use eclipse

go to file -> export project

and then it'll walk you through the whole process

it takes like 30 seconds

it still amazes me the number of people who do not know this

it's about 500 times easier if you just do it in eclipse

you can spend 8 hours trying to figure it out like hyperbyte did

or you can just use eclipse and be done in a few minutes
[Android Software Development] StoopidNoob:
WOW really!? Why the heck didn't anyone else tell me that!? LOL I'm gonna try it now. Thanks for quick responses. :D
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
You can also right click on the project and go to Android Tools > Export signed application package
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
hyperbyteX's method also doesnt zipalign the package which the export wizard does and is reccommended.

http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/zipalign.html

Eventually advanced users would want to use an ant build script (and possibly proguard to optimize) but the export tool is fine for most stuff.
[Android Software Development] StoopidNoob:
And this is going to let me publish in the market?? For sure?? LOL I'm sorry. Been going in circles with this. I'm completely new to Droid and everything that comes with it.
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
My method is just a different menu/way to get you to the same "export wizard" as smaskell reccommended.

And yes, once signed, you should be able to publish to the market.
[Android Software Development] StoopidNoob:
Ok this is gonna sound even more stoopid...but how do I package the apk? I used a program someone provided and it automatically made the .apk file for me, which I was able to upload and install in my inspire, but I assume there's more to it than just exporting the .apk itself right?
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
There are basically two keys developers come across when developing.

1) The debug key that comes with the SDK and just allows devs to test their apps

2) Your private personal developer/publisher key (that you generate yourself)

In eclipse whenever you build the project it makes an apk signed with the debug key (you can't use this to install on other devices unless they have debugging enabled and cannot upload to the market with this key). This is just a standard key built into android for debugging.

When you go through the export wizard that we posted, it will save an apk that is signed with your key. You can give this apk to others to sideload and upload to the market. It will also help you generate a key and alias and password if you havent generated one before.

Whatever you do, SAVE your key and and remember your alias and password and do NOT give it out to anyone else.

This is how the market will know that an apk comes from you. If you lose this key, you wont be able to upload new versions under the same package name.

hope that helps.
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
Also, in your manifest.xml make sure you have

android:debuggable="false"

in the <application> tag

example:

<application
android:icon="@drawable/my_icon"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:debuggable="false" >

[Vibrant General] uhsarp:
I was wondering if there's a way to access the internet (even if its slow) through dial up on samsung vibrant. I'm having issues with simple mobile 3g cap. I do have unlimited minutes and wanted to know if theres a way to get the internet atleast for google maps, basic search etc. This is what I want to use..

http://www.freedialup.org/site/content/view/22/27/
[Vibrant General] Phrack:
Simple Mobile must have completely cut you off for you to think dialup is a solution. I have T-mobile which throttles you after you reach your limit (I don't know what that limit is, I have never reached it since my life doesn't revolve around the internet).

To answer your question, no, you can't do that with your Vibrant or for that matter probably not with any modern phone. In order to connect to a dial-up ISP you need to have an analog modem, a function our Vibrants are unable to emulate.

I was able to do what you are proposing in 2001 with my Nokia 8290.

http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=67

There was only 1G on your phone and it was text only WAP. The Nokia 8290 (and some other phones of that era) had built-in analog modems so you could connect to your dial-up ISP or even FAX from your laptop using your phone as a faxmodem.

I was able to send faxes and surf at the speed of a snail sleepwalking because that phone only had a 14.4k modem.

You want to do Google Maps on dial-up? Nooooooooooooooooooo!

You're going to have to get a really old phone to use it to connect to a dial-up ISP.

[Atrix 4G General] techteacher2:
I had to exchange my atrix for a new one after a line of dead pixels wouldn't leave my screen.

I copied all my storage from one to the other and then ran a restore from Titanium Backup.

My original phone was set with fingerprint reading (which worked great by the way) and of course the backup pin #.

Now when I turn on my screen it prompts immediately for the PIN...no lock screen at all. It did restore the PIN that I set on my original phone.

When I try to manage the lock screen (settings - loc and sec - change lock screen) it bounces over to the finger print reader setup and then bounces immediatley back.

Seems like I'm kind of stuck.

Any suggestions on how to get my lock screen back and finger print reading up and running without a system restore and limited (app only) restore for TiB?
[Atrix 4G General] jeffc:
Same problem

I have the exact same problem. I had a very long pin and I don't always like to have my phone secured when I'm working from home all day so its a big pain.

I don't want to go back and rebuild my whole phone again (SBF, root, CWM, Gingerblur 1.2, restore) so it would be nice if there was a way to reset it to just take the pin. My guess is the pin restored but not the fingerprint templates so the system is looking for them and failing.

Just a thought... but if verizon was willing to upgrade all the xooms to 4G why doesn't AT&T do the same for our phones when they roll out their LTE? Just a thought since having a powerful device (even though its crippled) with awesome speeds would be nice.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
it's not that simple. there's no magic 'switch' or replaceable part that enables LTE.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
That and the fact that the Xoom is a Google flagship device.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Anyone who buys the Xoom now that wants LTE later has to send their device into Moto to have the hardware upgraded to support LTE
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
It's quite clear that the Xoom was designed with upgradability in mind while the Atrix wasn't. Actually if I remember correctly the Xoom has an open expansion slot. I'm sure ifixit would have the information. I know however that the Atrix radio chip is soldered in place. Realistically though, AT&T has no active LTE network and won't until probably after the T-Mobile acquisition is complete - they have started they want to use the AWS band for their LTE network. And by then we'll all be lining up to buy the next high end phone. Hexacore anyone?
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Well, they're using T-mo's bands to help expand their pre-determined LTE rollout from 80% to 95%. They also want to use T-Mo to help support their H+, but AT&T already had spectrum set up for their LTE before this acquisition
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:

[XPERIA X10 General] PhyzX:
My X10 works fine on the stock X10 2.1A0.435 rom and everything before that.

However, every time I try to flash to a custom rom such as FreeX10 and CM my phone will never have signal. Whenever the signal bars at the top of the screen show up "com.android.phone" force closes and the signal bars becomes a red X.

I've tried to wipe Dalvik Cache, full reset, reboot, reflash, Battery Stats, but nothing has seemed to fix the problem.

Does anyone have any other ideas that I can try?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Read the custom Rom threads. This is fairly common and often easily fixed.

Haven't used freex10 for a while, and I never had that issue so I don't know how you would fix it on that Rom. The only time I had that issue I simply crashed the system server via a supplied app called dev tools.
[XPERIA X10 General] shahkam:
You need to have specific kernel so you need to update urs to one of the following 54 -. 55 -. 58
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
If its the wrong kernel wont that just send you into bootloops? You wouldnt even know if you had a signal or not.

I could be wrong.

Anyways, if you flash freex10 and have no signal, go to settings, privacy and choose factory reset....works everytime.

If you flash CM...in the app drawer go to dev tools and choose crash system server.
[XPERIA X10 General] PhyzX:
I've tried to crash the system server with no luck, I will try doing a factory reset

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] PhyzX:
so none of the options above work

the only way i could get radio was to start up in airplane mode, wait for com.android.phone to crash, and then disable airplane mode.

However, com.android.phone crashs when i turn on wifi =.= and I have to do the whole process again, or turn wifi on before I turn off airplane mode.

Is com.android.phone suppose to crash like that?

The weird thing is that I am using Fido as my carrier but it shows that I am connected to Roger's Wireless.
[XPERIA X10 General] Pierre Duc:
